10/10 would recommend !!

Pros: Loved the Beaver Bar! So fun to have a bar inside a hostel, the nightly activities were great and I made loads of friends!! Staff were pretty awesome too and my bed was really comfortable and cosy.

Thus was the cleanest most helpful and friendly hostel. I will again stay

Pros: I loved the location the staff and the breakfast. It was noisy until 11 pm. But that is to be expected in a hostel the sound of people having fun was enjoyable to hear

Cons: Really it was perfect. A bit nosy but only until 11pm. Then respectfully everyone went to bed

Overall best to stay for solo travelers

Pros: I stayed here for 6 days and enjoyed Banff a lot with their recommendations. This is the best hostel for commuting to many locations, and it has a bus stop a few minutes away, right outside the hostel. I met many solo travelers, interacted with them, and traveled together. Overall, it gave me positive vibes.

Pros: Quiet, nice people and good vibe, the staff were very nice and helpful. Good place to meet new and interesting people and all the area so beautiful!

Cons: The washroom and the kitchen could be cleaner.

Probably the best budget stay choice within Banff. Perfect for travellers trying to explore the National Park.

Pros: Loved the beds, some had a window to see the view and curtains which was nice bonus. Comfy pillows too!

Cons: Compared to Samesun Vancouver the lobby/eating area was much smaller and secluded so making friends didn’t feel as easy to make.

Superb breakfast buffet, great location, clean facilities, and helpful staff.

Pros: Breakfast buffet has been terrific, there was a wide range of food to choose from. The location of the hostel in Banff is very convenient in a great walkable distance. The facilities were clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful with travel recommendations.

Cons: I wish there were more bathrooms to use.
